Trump invites Netanyahu to White House on Feb 4: Israel PM officeFrance waged a war marked by"extreme violence" during Cameroon's fight for independence in the late 1950s, historians said in the latest officially commissioned study grappling with Paris's colonial past released on Tuesday.
Most of Cameroon came under French rule in 1918 after its previous colonial ruler, Germany, was defeated during World War I. For many in France, the war in Cameroon went unnoticed because it mainly involved troops from colonies in Africa and was overshadowed by the French fight in Algeria's 1954-1962 war of independence.
Even after Cameroon gained independence in 1960, Paris remained deeply involved in its governance, working closely with the"authoritarian and autocratic" regime of Ahmadou Ahidjo, who stayed in power until 1982. Ahead of its publication, former anti-colonial fighter Mathieu Njassep had told AFP he wanted France to admit to wrongdoing.
